Are the downloads through http/tcp or some other protocol?
Re:Netflix to Acquire Warner Bros on Friday December 05, 2025 @04:49PM (#46167842)
If only there was an easy setup/tutorial for Usenet. I have no idea what I am supposed to pay for and what client program to use for acquiring files.

I've for a Pixel 8 Pro, with the latest Android version. I hope they enable this in the future. No reason for it to be only for the 10+

Installing a working Nvidia driver was a nightmare for me. And this was on a very recent version of Ubuntu.

I don't know if I would use the word approachable

Re:I just want working RCS messaging on Wednesday November 19, 2025 @10:51AM (#45981062)
It literally isn't Google only. It is enabled, by default, on all iPhones. Stop with the misinformation.
Re:I just want working RCS messaging on Wednesday November 19, 2025 @09:09AM (#45979691)
Not dead in the water at all. By default, it is enabled for all Android phones and iPhones
Re:I just want working RCS messaging on Wednesday November 19, 2025 @02:51AM (#45976923)
I'm surprised at the other responses that you have received.

RCS isn't a Google only thing. And it isn't an "app". It is disappointing that people don't understand that RCS is a great replacement for SMS/MMS.

I give them a pass on lots of things, but this is inexcusable
So you've never used WinForms, WPF and MVC
WPF as well
Re:Microsoft Azure Outage on Thursday October 30, 2025 @02:23AM (#45756949)
I've used AWS, Azure, and recently GCP. You do NOT want to use GCP.
Go to the actual source and you will see he posted an update and new article.

He ended up getting his account and data back.

I read the abstract but I'm still a bit confused. Will this help people who have down syndrome? Or is it a way to help future pregnancies?
I used to have multiple recruiters reach out to me daily on LinkedIn regarding software engineering positions.

And this was for multiple years.

That hasn't been the case for the last 3 or 4 months.

None of this surprises me and it shouldn't for others.

Are there any guides on how to set this up?

Yea I saw that after looking it up. I wasn't questioning the statement, but me personally I wouldn't look at each file and look for license violations. That's all.
Re:Show HN: I wrote a Java decompiler in pure C language on Tuesday June 03, 2025 @11:06PM (#44176860)
Yea I'm not criticizing you. Was just genuinely curious. Thanks
Re:Show HN: I wrote a Java decompiler in pure C language on Tuesday June 03, 2025 @09:30PM (#44176428)
I'm curious, how did you notice this?

Do you have a scanner that checks these sorts of things or is it something that you are passionate about?

Re:Why F#? on Wednesday April 02, 2025 @04:48AM (#43554778)
You're being way too nice. Java stream is nowhere near as easy to use as LINQ. I'd say that LINQ is easily one of the top 10 coding features that Microsoft has ever created.

I remember loving Skype before Microsoft bought it. I started using it very early on. It was amazing. I remember they had something like public groups (I forget the name). Think of it like a Twitter Space. I was in there every day.

Some people might remember "his highness from India". Good times arguing and listen to others argue with him.
